Are all the cities in which CivIV's Wonders are actually located (ie in real life) in CivIV? Failing that, are all the cultures in the game that built the wonders?

Can't think of one that isn't off the top of my head....anyone got one?
 
Angkor Wat....that's one.

The Sistine Chapel doesn't really have a Civ matching it (Rome, sort of).
 
I think the Chichen Itza is mayan.
 
the church of the nativity is sort of Roman (sort of).

Chichen Itza, that's a good one---wasn't thinking and I was giving that to the Aztecs---of course it's not Aztec.

I've been to the Space Elevator --- it's in downtown Manhattan.
 
I believe the Hanging Gardens were built in Babylon before Cyrus, thus making them Babylonian and not Persian. The Sistine Chapel isn't Roman at all in the sense that we think of the word. The Temple of Solomon and the Church of the Nativity count to. And, like people have pointed out, Chicken Itza was a Mayan city.

And . . . while on the subject of the wonders: the art for the Hagia Sophia is bad, the four minarets that are in the wonder movie and are around the building in the game were added hundreds of years after it was built, when it was converted into a mosque by the Ottoman Empire. They aren't part of the original structure at all.
